- Story Text: It is "very probable" that France's operations to evacuate its citizens and partners from Afghanistan will end on Thursday (August 26), French European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune told CNews TV.
Beaune also told CNews on Wednesday (August 25) that a new agreement regarding migration was needed between the European Union and Britain.
U.S. President Joe Biden said U.S. troops in Afghanistan faced mounting danger as they pushed to complete evacuations by an Aug. 31 deadline, with aid agencies warning of a looming humanitarian crisis for the population left behind.
